  4. 1949
    Stanley Hayter, Atelier 17 Group

    Art Gallery of the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia · October 1 to October 15, 1949

    Traveled to

    Notes and sources

    Gwyn Ferris, member of Atelier 17 and Atlanta native, selected 60 prints for this exhibition. The Lila Lewis Gallery additionally facilitated its display at the Art Gallery at the University of Georgia. Newspaper clippings indicate a two-week display at the Art Gallery, after which the selection was on view at the Lila Lewis Gallery.

    A type-set exhibition pamphlet in Stanley William Hayter's papers at Tate Archive matches many details provided in the press coverage. The pamphlet does not have a year and lists inclusive dates "October 1 to 24," which perhaps includes both venues in Atlanta.

    About the exhibiting artists

    The write-up in the Atlanta Constitution (September 30, 1949) mentions a checklist of 60 prints with many details matching the 60-object checklist in Tate Archive. This clipping, however, does mention Pierre Courtin and André Masson among exhibiting artists, and these two artists are not on the Tate Archive checklist.

    The Atlanta Journal review notes 57 works on exhibit.

    About the exhibiting artists

    The catalogue lists Marcel Duchamp's Les deux Frères (no. 20) in the Paris 1927–1939 section, but there is as yet no evidence that Duchamp participated in Atelier 17 during the prewar period.
